Turtle and Aimee are in a race and then..

[Aincrad]

Aimee said she’s losing. In French.
We all know how it ended whenever there’s a turtle in a race yes?

-Turtle’s an engineer so most people agree that he’s needed more than Aimee.
-Turtle’s been requested much more often and earlier than Aimee. Most people only started asking for Aimee after most mercs were released.
-Turtle is pretty polished judging from the information we have on him. I mean, his ability is a shield. The only thing left to test is whether it works fine on different locations.
-We have no idea what Aimee would be, her guns, her abilities, her stats. Which means she’ll be harder to test because, I cannot comprehend a skill more simple than a shield.
-People hate snipers on their teams. Look at the rage votekicks.
-The Devs delayed the merc roll-call, there’s no reason to not release turtle since more people are asking for him.
-On a personal note, participating in the dev streams gave me a feeling that Aimee isn’t going to be next.

P.s. I don’t hate turtle, I just want the merc roll-calls to be faster because it’s painful to wait another 3 months from now for Aimee to reach the endpoint.

Yours sincerely,
Aimee’s diehard fan

Aimee is the merc we deserve, but not the one we need right now…

I’ve been waiting on Aimeee particularly because she’s French.

Aimee’s main problem is that she’s almost a carbon copy of Vasilli, coming from her name. If classes were named through their abilities 90% of the time and someone is named Aimee, you’d expect only sniper rifles for that class.

Aimee isn’t going to bring much diversity to the game that Vasilli doesn’t already provide, which is the problem. Turtle is significantly different from the other mercs and therefore would be more popular.

The only really unique thing I can think about for Aimee is that I like french girls. You know, to touch and… …but not really for the purposes of combat.

Ah, I’m just annoying you guys at this point.

Which was why Aimee got removed from the Alpha so long ago. MissMurder mentioned that AImee underwent huge changes and we have all the reason to believe Aimee will be much different from what we are assuming.

She would definitely be significantly different from the other mercs as well and believe it or not, turtle will not be popular in the long run because having more than 2 in your team is just bad.

Using turtle means giving up on Lethal proxy mines, bushwhacker turrets, fletcher stickies. When your shield doesn’t help you get kills, let’s be frank, not everyone is going to like him. Only those who are really concerned about the objectives will love him. Don’t get me wrong, he opens up to a lot of strategies in competitive but he’s not going to be the kind of merc you’d love to use consistently.

I think the shield may have some very light offensive ability, just for instance defense against close range, it shoots something out that hurts enemies too close to it that attack it. Regardless if that is the case or not, he like Redeye would rely on his weapons to kill, not his abilities so he may very well have stronger than usual weapons for an Engineer merc.

Turtle’s not even out yet, we have no idea how he’s going to play. The devs had a lot of time to make turtle. All we can do is hope for the best.

[Shinywindow]

The devs have been working on getting a lot of feedback from the community recently, not to mention that they’ve changed mercs in the past (Everyone had grenades and Rhino used to have a charging attack). So what we know about Turtle and Aimee may already altered.

For example, I remember talk of Aimee being changed to an “Infiltrator” during a stream, possibly giving her access to shotguns and letting her take advantage of the self destruct options of her third eye bomb camera.

[amazonCube]

I’ve had 50k credits for a while now and it’s getting painful not blowing it off on tradeups or cases. Turtle needs to come quicker…

[Sinee]

I want Aimee so bad… almost every male merc has their female counterpart, but there’s none for Vassili which sucks for a chick sniper, and no female recon at all. All I want for VDay is to be the Bonnie to @Merciless ’ Clyde!

Besides, I don’t know why Turtle is needed more or something like that. There’s three engineers out already (Does everyone forget about Fletcher?), and three recon out as well.
